The man that don't like a good b'ah chase once in a while is no earthly use to me." But Eddring did not ride to the far forest that day. A good horseman, and now well mounted, he made a handsome figure as he galloped off across the field. As he rode, his eye searched here and there, till it caught sight of the flash of a scarlet jacket beyond a distant screen of high green brier.
We never dare give an inch in a matter of this kind." "Do you think they will make any trouble?" said Mrs. Ellison. "Never you mind about the trouble part of it," said Blount, quietly. "I reckon he'll come in. I'm going to take a wagon this time. So that's the kind of luck we had on this b'ah hunt." He arose to go, and left Mrs.
I've been right lazy in my time, I reckon, b'ah hunting and that sort of thing, but now I come to think it all over, I don't know but what Jack Eddring is as near right as anybody I know of. He allows he's got something to do in this world, and he's starting out to do it. He sort of showed me that maybe that's about the best thing a man can do with himself just work.
"Dat's her! dat's Miss Lady!" said Bill to his new friend, in a low voice. "Han'somest young lady in de hull Delta. Dey'll all be right glad ter see de Cunnel back. He's got a b'ah sho', fer he's comin' a- blowin'."
Behind Bowles, on the family mule, sat his wife, Sarah Ann, dipping snuff vigorously. "Good even', Cunnel," said Bowles, alighting, "I heah you-all got a b'ah this mawnin'. I just brung my own gun 'long heah, 'lowin' I might see somethin' 'long the road, even if it is gittin' a little dark." Blount smiled grimly. No mention was made of the ringing of the bell until Blount himself explained.
'Damn the railroad kyahs, sez he. An' den off he goes huntin', sort o' riled like. Now, ef he comes back, and ef he don't git no b'ah, why, you won't see old Bill 'round heah fer 'bout fo' days." "You seem to know him pretty well." "Know him? I orto. Raised wid him, an' lived heah all my life.
But man! you ought to have heard that pack for two hours through the woods. It certainly would have raised your hair straight up. You ever hunt b'ah, sir?" "A little, once in a while, when I have the time." "Well, you don't go away from here without having a good hunt. You just wait a day or so until my dogs get rested up." "Thank you, Colonel, but I am afraid I can't stay.
You see, I am down here on a matter of business." "Business, eh?" Well, a man that'll let business interfere with a b'ah hunt has got something wrong about him." "Well, you see, a railroad man can't always choose," said his guest. "Railroad man?" said Colonel Blount. A sudden gloom fell on his ruddy face. "Railroad man, eh? Well, I wish you was something else.
We'll go hunting b'ah together. Why, man, I'm mighty glad to make your acquaintance." "But wait," said Eddring, "there may be two ways of looking at this." "Well, there's only one way of looking at a julep," said Blount, "and that's down the mint. Now, I'll show you how we make them down here in the Sunflower country."
"I reckon I'll just walk around a little outside. I hear Colonel Blount is off on a bear hunt." "Yassah," said Bill. "An' when he goes he mostly gits b'ah. I'se right 'spondent dis time, though, 'deed I is, suh." "What's the matter?" "Why, you see, suh," replied Bill, leaning comfortably back against a gallery post, "it's dis-away. I'm just goin' out to fix up old Hec's foot.
